It's BLOB Monday and I am shaped out! Just made a new sheet and thought I'd share a mini, behind the scenes look at how BLOBS come together, usually - on a Sunday night. After lots of loose, fast sketching, I narrow shapes down. Here's what I ended up scanning...

...then its outlining with Adobe Illustrator.

Do I ever "see" my character when tightening shapes up? No. I keep cleaning and pushing a silhouette until I like the final BLOB itself. It must have good proportions (to me), fun movement and face a general direction...Could it be a front, side or back view (always super important with any design - be it a product, vehicle or...character)? Lately, I've been increasing the number of "cuts" I make to one shape. Going from one, to many. Then it's all up to YOU, the final designer. What could sprout from this crop?
